Hello Yellow Jacket Families!

We hope you enjoy this video in our Welcome Wreck 101 Summer Series, featuring the Wellness Empowerment Center with Dr. Joi Alexander, Director.

In the video, Joi helps us understand all the wonderful resources her department offers your student, and she's also shared these notes.

The Wellness Empowerment Center cultivates a thriving environment that enhances lifelong well-being among students who live, learn, and work in the Georgia Tech Community. The team creatively designs prevention and education efforts to promote, nurture, and enrich the Georgia Tech community of health, well-being, and caring. Services include health and well-being educational programs, events and workshops, nutrition counseling, sexual violence prevention, education, and response.
